I sell my happiness with words
As if it were money
And maybe
It is
Because if people have it
They smile and laugh
With joy in their bodies
Happiness
Takes sadness from many
And gives them joy that cheers them up
How beautiful life would be
To erase sadness
Spread happiness to those who need it
And make their day better
I am truly happy
And so . . .
Are you
